Chapter 21: The Death Overlord

"Lord Tower Mountain, killed?" Buweit and the countless clan members beside him felt an instant chill in their hearts.

The supreme Lord God envoy of the divine realm was actually killed—how could this be possible?

Shawn let out a sigh of relief, then coldly stared at Buweit and the others.

Buweit immediately sensed his danger, his complexion turning pale as he shouted, "Everyone, run!"

"Think you can escape?" Shawn said indifferently. "And thanks to the abundant Lord God's power of your Four Divine Beast Clan; otherwise I couldn't have trapped you with the magical array."

Even Buleile's magical array talent is strong, but without enough Lord God's power, it couldn't imprison so many masters wielding that power;

and the fact that he could successfully kill Lord Tower Mountain was because these people were trapped underground by the array, making movement difficult.

Buweit and his companions are all Seven‑Star Demon masters; at this moment they scattered using Lord God's power to flee. Shawn couldn't catch them all instantly, but ten li out they ran into a cyan‑green wall formed of Lord God's power.

"Break it!" several Seven‑Star Demon elders slammed their full force at the array, only causing the wall to tremble.

"Die."

Shawn didn't want idle chatter to let them escape; after all, under attacks from so many masters bearing Lord God's power, it's uncertain how long the array could hold.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~" a soul attack reaped a Seven‑Star Demon.

The Azure Dragon Clan's Seven‑Star Demons can bully ordinary manor lords with Lord God's power, but against a peak Asura also using that power, they can't withstand even a single strike.

"Shawn, I will definitely kill you," Buweit said, and was instantly slain.

"Just you?" Shawn thought scornfully.

All members of the Four Divine Beast Clan can wield innate divine abilities; the Sanctum's true form is here, killed, leaving at most a weak avatar;

Of course, summoning other masters for revenge is another matter.

The magical array in the sky trembled under the onslaught; Shawn glanced, his figure vanished, roaming within the array, killing anything he touched;

In the end, the array's resilience exceeded Shawn's expectations, perhaps because the Seven‑Star and Six‑Star foes were already slain, leaving limited remaining attack power;

Since the array remained unbroken, all the Four Divine Beast Clan trapped inside were killed.

Hell, Heaven Sacrifice Mountain Range:

"Ah~~~" Buweit, exuding a destructive rule aura, sealed the surrounding rooms with divine power, then emitted a cry of agony inside.

The strongest divine avatar is dead, the Sanctum's true form also perished; thus he becomes a mere high‑tier God, his former status completely gone.

"I will make you die, Shawn." Buweit trembled all over, knowing he was finished;

His own avatar now only possesses Six‑Star Demon strength; with the Sanctum's true form dead and no innate divine abilities, he will be just an ordinary high‑tier God.

"Impossible, I must obtain that Lord God's artifact," Buweit's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "I will also make Shawn die."

At that moment, a voice sounded from outside the door: "Elder Buweit, the clan chief invites you over."

Buweit's complexion changed dramatically after hearing it, yet he withdrew his divine power and replied, "Fine, I'm going right away."

A moment later, inside the clan chief's grand hall:

Gaiselisen said coldly, "Is this the result you handed me?"

"Chief, I don't know either; Shawn's power is unbelievably terrifying," Buweit hurriedly knelt and said.

This indeed wasn't his negligence; who could have expected Shawn's strength to be so formidable.

"What punishment do you think I should give you?" Gaiselisen roared angrily, "One Lord God envoy dead, six elders, dozens of Six‑Star Demon clan members slain; do you realize you've completely disgraced the Four Divine Beast Clan's reputation?"

Since the heavens and earth first opened, our Four Divine Beast Clan has only once retreated because we offended the Great Perfection; this time is the most shameful.

The death of a Lord God envoy doesn't concern Gaiselisen; another can be recruited, but this time the Four Divine Beast Clan's face is truly ruined.

Billions of years ago, a minor figure of the Four Divine Beast Clan offended a newly ascended Great Perfection; that clash caused several Seven‑Star elders of the clan to die. Eventually multiple Lord Gods and a high‑tier Overlord intervened, brokered peace, and the clan learned the terror of the Great Perfection—without the Lord Gods, the entire Four Divine Beast Clan couldn't match them.

Being forced to concede by the Great Perfection wasn't shameful, but now being slain by a peak Asura is downright humiliating.

"Chief, my life or death matters not," Buweit added, "Now the enemy is settled, I ask the chief to make plans early."

"Plan? Even if we send enough masters, they'll still run." Gaiselisen's anger flared, he wanted to kill the person before him outright, but restrained himself because the person was a direct descendant of his sister Gaiya, so he waved his hand and said, "You may go."

"Understood." Buweit dared not speak further;

Watching Buweit leave, Gaiselisen furrowed his brows and muttered, "To kill a peak Asura who wields the Death Rule's ultimate artifact, you'd have to gather all the envoys of his father and besiege him."

Although Gaiselisen isn't a peak master himself, he knows that a peak Asura—standing at the pinnacle among Asuras—has almost no weakness.

To kill them, either summon the Great Perfection—though they don't know it—or gather a massive force of peak Asuras for a siege; as for the Lord Gods intervening, that's even less likely, as they wouldn't act over such matters.

"To besiege, you must know the location, then swiftly coordinate multiple envoys for an ambush; the difficulty is extraordinarily high."

Gaiselisen also grimaced; even if they locate Shawn someday, it might be after billions of years, and his father's eight Lord God envoys couldn't be on standby for this—after all, they are peak masters, and he must give them face, not force them.

In the Underworld, after the array collapsed, a terrifying energy erupted around Shawn; massive Death Overlord power gathered and finally formed a humanoid figure;

"Greetings, Overlord," Shawn quickly said;

He also knew that all his actions were under the Death Overlord's watch; even these battles were a spectacle for the strongest being between heaven and earth.

The Death Overlord then asked, "Shawn, I'm truly surprised—how did you manage to have so many soul seeds at the god level, especially since they also used Lord God's power?"

"Even I couldn't produce this many soul seeds," he added.
